NSW government formally apologise to LGBTQ+ people for laws that criminalised homosexuality

New South Wales Premier Chris Minns has formally apologised on behalf of the state government to LGBTQ+ people for laws that criminalised homosexuality. NSW is the last state to issue an apology, and eight years behind Victoria and South Australia which formally apologised in 2016. The motion will also recognise the trauma felt by and endured by the LGBTQIA+ community, their families and their loved ones.
